Teignbridge CVS |
||||||
| Teignbridge CVS was
established in 1981 to support the local community action by working
with voluntary and community organisations and groups to improve their
effectiveness and sustainability.
In practice this includes organising affordable learning
opportunities to meet local needs, the provision of a substantial
fundraising advice service, offering a range of support and information
to new and existing groups, dealing with a wide range of enquiries on
all aspects of running a voluntary organisation and the provision of a
variety of publications and bulletins for members of the CVS (see
membership link). The CVS hosts Teignbridge Volunteer Centre which recruits and places people who want to volunteer with organisations that need them. The CVS also provides a voice for the sector through local/regional forums and networks. It provides a focus for the development of strategic initiatives that affect voluntary groups in Teignbridge, including partnerships with statutory bodies. Teignbridge CVS is a member of: NAVCA, the National Association for Voluntary and Community Action, Volunteering England and National Council of Voluntary Organisations. |
